Course Organizers (2008-2009)

2 - STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY

27-31 October

Organizer: Anna Tramontano, University La Sapienza
The approximate program, assuming Monday morning to Friday lunch-time, is shown below. I am expecting 1-1.5 hour lectures and 1.5-2 hours for each section of practicals.

In case some of the students are facing a problem that involves a protein, I would like to know which protein they are working on, so that we can use it as an example in the practicals.

We will suggest a couple of books, articles for them to look at beforehand if they so wish. They will then be given a copy of the presentations and at least one or two papers authored by the lecturers at the time of the course.
